It’s not just the House, the Senate and the President also need to be on board. The House passing a resolution would at least illustrate who’s holding things up, though.

The Senate needs to be board, but not the president. The president doesn't have veto power as it is not a bill. Ratification of a state is just Congress. (And there is no way the Republicans will lose both sides of Congress)
